Annelies's Gaming PC

I ordered my gaming PC today. I'm building it myself. Here is what I decided on:

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO
GPU: 2x EVGA GTX 660 TI (SLI)
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K Ivy Bridge
CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB
PSU: CORSAIR HX Series HX850 850W
Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 912

I didn't order an SSD because I don't necessarily need one right now and I already have four optical disc drives lying around my house so I'll use one of those.

I decided on GTX 660 TIs in SLI because they are better than a single 680 and if I decided on a single 680, I didn't see myself getting another $500 in the future for a second one. The 850W PSU is more than enough to power the 660 TIs in SLI. 660 TIs in SLI can pretty much max out any game at well above 60FPS, 1920x1080 with AA,AF, etc...

When I get it I might make a video showing you guys.

I also got two copies of Borderlands 2 for free.

I'm not the biggest fan of AMD products plus I have never had issues with NVIDIA drivers.

have you decided on what your using as a display? or multi displays?

personaly it sounds like over kill for "modding" a forum but hell whatever makes that "ban button" and "close thread" work faster for you so you can beat @hellsing9 at this game

The PS3 doesn't interest me anymore. Read my thread 'Honesty is the Best Policy' for more regarding my decision.

EDIT:

@TizzyT - What do you think?
